Sella's messaging account appears to be active. Riani waited for the reply message patiently.
One minute ... two minutes .. three minutes ....
"Argh! This is really Sella."
Upset not getting a reply message and the short message also never read, Riani decided to make a voice call.
"I'm sorry, I'm in another call."
The sentence is displayed on the Riani smartphone screen.
"It seems ...," said Riani, pressing the red phone icon to disconnect the voice call she made.
On returning to the messaging app, Riani noticed that the short message she sent had already been read. Not long after, at the bottom of the name Sella looks like her status is typing.
Sella: Yes, why?
Sella: Sorry, Ri, usual.
Riani: What else is it?
Riani: Yes, I have a guy.
Sella: When do you have a guy, Ri? I don't know what else, outside of that.
Riani: How come my mom has been going to your house lately, Sel?
Sella: Kaya really want to work together, Ri, because it's because I was horrified yesterday-yesterday again talking about the boarding problem. I don't know either, Ri.
Riani: Tell me to go home with me like that, Sel, this chicken soy sauce already mateng.
The sound of Dwi's footsteps was heard approaching, a few seconds later a bowl of soy sauce was served at the dining table.
"Woah, it's very tasty," said Riani looking at the chicken soy sauce is still hot.
Dwi smiles. "That's my make must be delicious, Non."
"Allah." Riani turned her smartphone back on, she took a picture of the soy sauce chicken and posted it in the story.
"You want to eat first, Non?" ask Dwi.
Riani. "Wait for me to be together."
While writing the caption for the photo of the soy sauce chicken, Riani heard the sound of the door being opened.
"Here we eat together, look Mba Dwi has cooked my favorite soy sauce chicken." Riani said without looking towards someone who came. His eyes were fixed on the smartphone because he had not finished typing the caption.
"Yes, I'm hungry too."
Hearing that voice belonged to a man, Riani stopped her activities for a moment. A few seconds later, he turned to the source of the voice and found Bayu who was stepping up under the stairs.
Seeing his arrival, Riani immediately got up from her seat. "Wood? What are you doing here?!"
"Invited to dinner with Aunt Rita." Bayu answered lightly.
"What is this mom?!" annoyed Riani, whispered softly.
The door of the house is open again.
"Wih, it's been gathering all the turns. Come on, let's have dinner together."
"Why are you talking to Bayu too, Mom?"
"Let's add rame, Ri, why else?"
"Why? Why's mom?" Riani's voice tone was rising. "God, Mom, Riani's tired of taking a break." Riani stepped away from the dining room. "Mom don't understand!"
"Loh, Ri, you called Mom to dinner together. This is chicken soy sauce, your favorite."
"Lustless!" riani snapped while climbing the stairs to her room.
Arriving inside the room, Riani immediately threw her body onto the bed. His face was buried in a deep pillow. Riani cried in silence.
When he opened his eyes again, Riani only found darkness. Apparently he still buried his face in a pillow.
The tears that were dripping onto the pillow were already dry. Riani looked towards the wall clock that showed the current time at one in the morning.
Riani's hand held her stomach which felt rumbling.
"The soy sauce is still there, isn't it?" lirih Riani's.
He then moved out of bed. When she opened the door, Riani turned to her right and left, quiet.
Riani closed the door of her room again very carefully. From the corner of his eyes, Riani saw someone who was passing towards the dining room downstairs.
"No one wakes up anymore" said Riani.
Be careful and vigilant.
Riani stepped down every step of the stairs so slowly that no sound was made. Up to the bottom floor, Riani looked to the right and to the left.
The lights have been turned off, there is only light from outside the house and the bathroom lights are lit illuminating the kitchen and dining room with a dim light.
Silent, silent, desolate, there was no one to be seen on this first floor.
Riani turned on the kitchen lights. He looked towards the room of Dwi room with the door tightly closed.
"Mba Dwi is sleeping again." Riani was silent for a moment. "Good enough."
The stove was lit, a small pot was taken off the shelf and filled with water a little. Everything was done by Riani slowly.
A bowl of instant noodles with almost full sauce is already on the dining table. Hunger makes Riani eat it with voraciously and full of pleasure.
As the noodle soup was fed into the mouth, Riani was silent for a moment. He heard a voice coming from the bathroom. The drops of water falling to the floor sounded classroom, although Riani was very sure if there were no leaks from the faucet or shower inside there.
Curious, Riani left a bowl of instant noodles just like that on the table. His footsteps led to the bathroom, but did not find any water leak in it.
"Any," said Riani, instantly his entire body was goosebumps.
The noodle soup he made was still left, maybe about three more mouthfuls. Riani went back to the dining table to finish it off.
"What's this?" lirih Riani as she looked at the red droplets on the table close to her instant noodle bowl. "I don't think my eating was a mess."
Riani continued to eat noodle kuah even though the feeling was not enough. The longer, the more obvious the fear became.
After finishing the noodles, Riani immediately left the dirty bowl just like that on the table.
The sound of something being shifted stopped Riani's footsteps. His eyes looked towards the dining table, nothing had happened.
Just as Riani was about to continue her steps again, the dining chair that Riani had occupied moved backwards.
Both of Riani's eyes widened, her mouth forming a small O.
Riani's body was riveted for a while. When it was realized Riani immediately continued to climb the stairs.
But the sound of the bowl breaking surprised him. Riani did not have enough courage to look towards the dining room anymore.
"What's up, Ni?" ask Rita who just came out of her room.
"E-e .. a-anu .. i-it ...." Riani pointed down.
"Why, Ni? You are calm, let's say it clearly too. Wh why? What's up there?"
Riani shook her head, she wanted to speak as clearly as possible, but somehow her lips were twisted, she could not speak clearly.
The curious Rita finally decided to go down and see for herself. "Geez, Riani, did you break Mom's favorite bowl?!"
Riani was silent when she saw her mother walking towards the kitchen. The next few seconds, there was the sound of a shifting object.
"Riani ... Riani, my goodness, Riani ...."
From the top of the stairs, Riani saw her mother who went back up the stairs.
"Quickly, quickly get into the room, Ri," said Rita with a little push on her child's body.
The two entered Riani's room.
"Why get rich, Mom, now?" ask Riani.
Rita just shook her head, then curled under the blanket on top of Riani's bed.
